Frequently Asked Questions on Communal Doors

  • Do Communal Doors Require Vision Panels?

    Following BS 3800 and BSI, the communal entrance doors should be fully glazed or have vision panels fitted accordingly. When these panels are fitted, they should meet the necessary criteria to benefit all users. 

    A zone of visibility between 500mm and 1500mm from the ground level must be provided so that all users and obstacles can be fully seen before the door is opened.

  • Are Communal Doors Important?

    Yes, communal doors are essential for shared living spaces as they provide added security, privacy and increased fire safety protection. Fire doors are a key element of a building’s passive fire protection strategy, as they are designed to compartmentalise the fire and contain it within specified areas.

    This helps in keeping evacuation routes clear and allows enough time for emergency services to respond.
